Description
Grade 8 zinc yellow plated carriage bolts measuring 3/8-16 x 8 are engineered for maximum strength and reliable wood-to-wood connections. The Grade 8 steel core delivers high load capacity, while the yellow zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor or high-humidity environments.
Product highlights
- Grade 8 steel for superior strength and durability in demanding applications.
- Zinc yellow plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean aesthetic.
- Thread size 3/8-16 UNC (coarse thread) for common timber assemblies.
- Length 8 inches overall length for many structural wood projects.
- Carriage bolt design with a domed head and square neck that resists turning during installation.
Applications
Ideal for decking, fencing, pergolas, and other outdoor wood projects where a clean, flush head and strong load capacity are required. The zinc-yellow finish offers extra protection against moisture and corrosion.
Installation tips
- Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting. Use a bit slightly smaller than the bolt's shank diameter.
- Pair with matching nuts and washers (not included) for a secure, lasting connection.
- Drive in until the domed head sits flush with the surface to maintain a clean appearance.
